Julie Taylor was sentenced to 15 years in state prison, Stephen Dagis to 12 years and Sarah Vanderbilt to six years by Judge Michael Gaus in Superior Court in Sussex County.

All three must complete 85 percent of their sentences before they would be eligible for parole, according to the Sussex County Prosecutor’s Office.

Earlier this year, Taylor and Dagis pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated manslaughter and Vanderbilt pleaded guilty to second-degree reckless manslaughter in connection with the death of a baby last year in Andover Township. The death was attributed to a drug overdose.
